Episode 96 Behind the scenes

On the mourning hall of King Yanping, Zhang Zhaoxian held a military hat and a marshal's scepter in his right arm, bowed deeply to the spirit of King Yanping and Zhu Yourong, slowly retreated to the door, and bowed deeply.

Zhu Yourong was still wearing a white filial piety robe, kneeling on the futon under the portrait of his grandfather, thinking about what Zhang Zhaoxian had just played. Xiang Xiaoqiang directly called the commander of the naval base in Chaban, Siam, and also brought out the edict he gave him, and he must ask Commander Guo Chaofeng to immediately find a witness and protect it.

She just asked Zhang Zhaoxian what he thought, but Zhang Zhaoxian refused to express his opinion. He just said that he, like His Majesty, only knew so much about this matter, and that the stakes were so high that it was really not good to make a guess based on this phone call alone.

Zhu Yourong understood that Marshal Zhang Zhaoxian may not have his own guesses, but he was right, this matter was too big, even if he had ideas, he would not say it easily.

Commander Guo Chaofeng had already arranged to find that person, and reported to Zhang Zhaoxian as soon as possible, and Zhang Zhaoxian also revealed himself as soon as possible.

However, when Zhu Yourong asked if he had found the witness and what the situation was, he could not get an answer. Because it's still looking.

…… They were all too eager to report to themselves.

Zhu Yourong thought so, and this feeling became more and more obvious.

…… They were all too anxious to clear up, and they were too anxious to say to themselves that they had nothing to do with Xiang Xiaoqiang...... They can't even wait for the results of their search to come out.

In the past two days, Zhu Yourong has been kneeling in front of his grandfather's spirit and keeping filial piety for his grandfather. In addition to eating and sleeping, most of the rest of the time is so quietly kneeling. The mourning hall is always quiet, and Zhu Yourong can look at the portrait of his grandfather's kindness, recalling every fragment of his childhood with his grandfather. Thinking of the emotional place, he quietly shed tears for a while. The things that usually bother me are now all locked outside the mourning hall. Zhu Yourong only feels that his grandfather is protecting him now. It's a very comfortable and welcoming feeling.

When I started kneeling, my legs were still numb, but after a long time, I didn't even feel numb. Xuanxuan sometimes comes to kneel with her for a while and shed tears for a while, but she can't stay here, she always can't stand it for a while, and goes elsewhere.

Maybe it was the help of his grandfather's spirit in the sky, Zhu Yourong knelt quietly here for two days, and his mind was much clearer. I couldn't see and figure out a lot of things before, but now I feel that I can see and think through them.

She held on to the ground and tried to get up. But his legs didn't seem to obey the call, he couldn't use his strength, and his heart hurt. She touched the sweat oozing from her forehead, and suddenly felt someone wrap her arms around her.

She looked back and saw that it was Wei Zijin.

Wei Zijin lowered his head and sighed softly:

"Your Majesty, you've been kneeling for too long, it's not good for your bones."

Zhu Yourong asked Wei Zijin to help him up, stood for a while, let the blood run again, and then said:

"Zijin, let's go outside."

……

When the maids and guards outside saw Zhu Yourong coming out, they all hurriedly stood up and bowed their heads to salute. Wei Zijin was also wearing a long white filial piety robe, slightly half a step behind Zhu Yourong, and bowed his head and walked forward.

The two walked slowly to the palace garden. On the small stone path on the edge of the pond, Zhu Yourong saw that there was no one around, so he asked Wei Zijin to sit side by side on the stone bench by the pond with him, and opened his mouth to tell Zhang Zhaoxian what he had just said.

Then, Zhu Yourong looked at the lake and said:

"Zijin, you see, whether it is the palace or the palace, no one can discuss this matter with him. Uncle and Xuanxuan, I can't discuss Xiang Xiaoqiang's affairs with them...... They hate Xiang Xiaoqiang to death now, I know that as soon as I say it, they will say that I am not filial, saying that I am still thinking about Xiang Xiaoqiang in my heart at this time, and I am still talking to Xiang Xiaoqiang...... They're sure to say that about me. But, Zijin, you know, I didn't ...... because I was thinking about Xiang Xiaoqiang I just thought, are things the way we see them? Or are we blinded? …… If it's the latter, then I'll be very remorseful. ”

Wei Zijin sat quietly beside Zhu Yourong, silently, looking at the lake, like a stone.

Zhu Yourong said to himself:

“…… I don't dare to tell anyone else, I only dare to tell you. Because everyone has a big stake at stake except you...... They all think only about themselves and think about what to do for their benefit...... Moreover, they can't keep secrets. ”

She turned her face to look at Wei Zijin, looking at her like a friend, and held her hand, their fingers crossed.

"Help me analyze it, Zijin," Zhu Yourong half-squinted his eyes, tears almost overflowing again, "I'm so painful because of this...... Xiang Xiaoqiang said that Shen Ge Lao was also suspicious, originally, I should be happy, because after all, with a second suspect, I finally got half of Xiang Xiaoqiang's suspicions, and Xiang Xiaoqiang may be wronged...... But I can't be happy. Whether it's Xiang Xiaoqiang or Shen Ge Lao, no matter who they lie, I will be sad...... Now the Laem Chabang base is looking for the witness who told Xiaoqiang, and I asked them to tell me as soon as they have the results...... I know that even for you, there is too little basis at the moment......"

Wei Zijin turned his face, also looked at Zhu Yourong, and said quietly:

"Your Majesty, that's enough."

"What?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Shen Ge Lao."

Zhu Yourong's heart tightened, and a teardrop rolled down.

She knew that Wei Zijin was the most sober-minded person at the moment. She said with such certainty that Shen Ge Lao didn't matter, then it was basically ......

But she still forced herself to ask normally:

"Why doesn't it matter?"

Wei Zijin lowered his head slightly and said softly:

"Your Majesty...... The assassination took place twice. The first time was at Bangkok Station and the second time in Nanjing. If there was only the first assassination, I would not dare to make any inferences. Because the suspicion may come from any party: the Northern Qing Dynasty, Japan, Britain, France, Siamese Interior, Xiang Daren, Shen Ge Lao...... However, there was a second assassination.

"If this second assassination had been carried out with bullets, the suspicions would still have come from all directions. But the bomb exploded in the bulletproof car in which His Royal Highness the Prince was riding. Therefore, the slave maid felt that it had the flavor of self-inflicted cleverness. Because whether the purpose is to frame or really assassinate, the murderer has greatly narrowed the scope of suspicion with his own hands...... Only two people were concentrated. ”

Zhu Yourong squinted his eyes and stared at her, as if he also had a premonition, holding his breath and listening to her.

Wei Zijin continued to whisper:

"The safety check of the bulletproof car is responsible to the adults. According to Mr. Xiang, the usual management of the Royal Bulletproof Vehicle and the security check before its use have reached an almost harsh level. Especially at the end, Lord Xiang also watched the agents perform the final inspection of the three vehicles. It would have been impossible to say that someone else had planted the bomb in the car in advance and concealed it from the eyes of the adults. Therefore, the slave maid thinks that it has nothing to do with Shen Ge Lao.

"Then there are only two possibilities: either you are lying to the adults, and the bombs are loaded in advance by the adults. Either that...... It's someone else who lies...... In addition to the adult, there is a chance to put the bomb in the ...... Or, the person who brought it into the car......"

Speaking of this, Wei Zijin lowered his head and said no more.

Zhu Yourong was still staring at her, and for a while, the blood running all over his body accelerated. She vaguely understood what Wei Zijin meant.

……

The headquarters of the People's Guard, Xiang Xiaoqiang guarded the radio station, turned around, staring at Qiuqiu and Xiuxiu operating the radio.

The first list has already been sent, that is, the list of all officials at or above the department level in the East Factory. Now Xiuxiu is sending a second list of Siamese officials, while Qiu-su is translating a call back from Bangkok.

"Xiaoqiang," Qiu Yun said as he shoved the newly translated message into his hand, "The two children said that it was not such a strange name, they said, and they heard a normal name. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly read the message, then threw it on the table and said:

"As we thought, the Siamese flavor is getting stronger. The two children said it wasn't this 'strange' name, it was a 'normal' name — that is, it wasn't our Ming Chinese name, but the Siamese Thai name they had been listening to and saying all day. The Siamese people are behind it, and now it's almost certain. …… Xiuxiu, come on, now wait for the children to recognize your Siamese list. ”

Soon, Xiuxiu's list of Bangkok officials was also sent. All three sat silently, waiting for a response from there.

After a while, the little light bulb of the radio came on. Qiu Yu quickly grabbed a pen and paper, wrote down the other party's message signal, and then handed it to Xiuxiu for translation.

The message was very short and was translated at once. Xiuxiu said:

"My lord, the two children are very sure that the adult in those bad mouths is Lord Sawan Susi!"

"Who is Sawan Susi?"

It was Xiuxiu's collection of the list, and she was very clear about the identities of all the people on the list. But she had no impression of this Sawan Susi, as if the name was not on the list.

Xiuxiu thought for a while and couldn't remember, so she took the list again and searched carefully. Sawan Susi is still not on the list.

Xiang Xiaoqiang frowned and said:

"Since they're not on the list, how did those two kids say that?"

Xiuxiu's face was slightly red, her lips were pursed, her brows were frowned, and she quickly sent a sentence to ask. I got an answer right away.

"My lord," Xiuxiu said with a sigh of relief, "There is a 'Quunji Susi' on the list, and when the children heard the name, they were prompted and remembered the name 'Sawan Susi'. And Fang Guimin said that the children were sure that it was definitely this name. There shouldn't be a mistake. ”

"Who is this Sawan Susi? Why isn't it on your list? ”

Xiuxiu was a little nervous again, bit her lip and thought for a while, and said:

"My lord, I'll check it out immediately."

Xiuxiu stepped aside, picked up the telephone on his adjutant's desk, and made a series of phone calls to retrieve various information...... She rolled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief from time to time while checking. The weather is hot today, and Xiang Xiaoqiang saw from behind that the light blue shirt behind Xiuxiu was already soaked with sweat.

Ten minutes later, the results were in.

"My lord," Xiuxiu said, holding the transcript she had just written, her face flushed with excitement, "Sawan Susi is not an official, nor is he a staff member of the conservative forces from time to time. He was Prince Ananta's mentor and is now the prince's first aide. ”

After speaking, the three of them looked at each other, and they all understood something in an instant.

"That'...... But ......" After a while, Qiu Yu still had an incredulous expression, looked at the two of them and asked, "Even if the prince framed you in order to get rid of you, how did the bomb get into the car?" Xiaoqiang, you have to remember, even the East Factory is not good at putting bombs in it, and the prince has no power in Daming, how can he do it? ”

"Oops, you idiot!" Xiang Xiaoqiang slapped the table, pointed at Qiu Yu and said, "You are like this, even if you are sold, you will still help others count the banknotes!" Don't you understand how the bomb got into the car? ”

Xiuxiu whispered to Qiu Yu:

"The prince brought the bomb from Siam and carried it with him all the time, and brought it in when he was in a bulletproof car. The prince would never have been searched anyway. …… Take out the bomb when you get off the bus and put it under the seat, or just put it on the seat...... Anyway, there is only the driver in the car besides him, and he can put it wherever he likes...... Then, it's time to crush the chemical fuse...... So, after getting out of the car, it exploded. This creates the illusion that someone is planning to kill him, and if he hadn't gotten out of the car a few dozen seconds earlier, he would have been blown up...... Then everyone is naturally suspicious of adults. ”

Qiu Yu was stunned, thought about it for a moment, and suddenly became angry, smashed his fist on the table, and scolded loudly:

"Ah, this bastard! Almost killed us! No, I can't spare him! I won't let him go! ”

As she spoke, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she scolded with tears:

"That bastard! The day after tomorrow, if the adult is really arrested, I will kill him! I'm going to...... I'm going to shoot him with one shot......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang was very moved when he saw Qiu Yu so emotional. He knew that for Qiu Yun, he was the most precious thing in the world. Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel guilty about his tone just now.

He hurried over, hugged Qiu Yun into his arms, patted it gently, comforted her, and let her dissipate her anger:

"Good, good...... Didn't we get him out? Now he doesn't know he's been caught...... The initiative is already in our hands...... Okay, okay, my big girl...... Eliminate ......"

Qiu Yun's body trembled with anger, and it was not easy to calm down, looked up at him, and asked directly:

"Xiaoqiang, what do you say!"

"Damn, I can't kill him!"

"So, how's it done?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang hugged Qiuqiu, but his eyes looked at Xiuxiu, and asked:

"Xiuxiu, I think that Sawan Susi should be arrested! What do you think? ”

Xiuxiu was taken aback:

"My lord, Sawan Susi is Prince Ananta's teacher and first aide, and he is equivalent to a powerful minister in Siam...... Even if he is not a minister, he is a Siamese official after all...... How do we catch it? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and said:

"This ...... I'll arrange it. Now we are waiting for the witnesses from Laem Chabang's side. As soon as the testimony arrives, your majesty will be played immediately! …… Damn, that Niko's temperament...... That lukewarm water...... Damn, whether His Majesty supports it or not, let those four people in Bangkok get ready to kidnap Sawan Susi! ”
